Citrus National Golf Club

The course has a very nice layout. there’s lots of trees and various elevation changes that make it different than most Florida courses. But the greens were a little rough because of scraping. And the fairways were a little bare in some places.

Far from being in great condition, but definitely on the road to improving. Have patience, this facility was in awful shape when new ownership took over. They showed gracious hospitality in hosting the Seven Rivers Christian School Varsity Golf Team this season. Scott and his staff are genuinely kind and caring people. They love the game and those who play it, especially our youth.

Let me start off by saying this: if you are an avid golfer, like I am, you know how hard it is to maintain a golf course in the state of Florida. Especially when it comes to public courses that a lot of people play.

Citrus National Golf and Country Club checks all the boxes for me. They have a beautiful driving range, very friendly office staff, and a very nice golf course. They also allow walk in tee times for folks who love to golf on a whim.

If you like to top off and cool off after a round of 18, their food and drink options are excellent. Beer is on draft, or available in bottles or cans, along with soda options, and food is ready to cook upon order. The chef here is excellent, so are the wait staff. Clubhouse management is not afraid to serve people as well, which gets extra brownie points for me.

The driving range, the greens and the fairways here are in exceptional quality. I know how hard it is to maintain a golf course, especially in the Florida heat. Greens can die/patch up easily. They irrigate and aerate the greens and fairways on a regular basis to where they’re a beautiful full consistency. There’s still some minor work for the fairways and greens, but nothing that’ll hinder play in any aspect. They have also started work on tee box repairs and the course is coming along wonderfully.

Also, don’t be afraid to go into the clubhouse and ask for assistance or anything that you may need, because the staff here will take excellent care of you. Mr. Scott Yates, the course pro and course General Manager, has done a wonderful job at making sure that all the staff are friendly and personable.

If you are new to the area or have been living here for years, I highly recommend that you come to Citrus National. Trust me when I say, you will not be disappointed.
